Respawn Entertainment, the parents of Apex Legends and Titanfall, is currently working on a new Star Wars game. This time, players would take on the role of a Mandalorian bounty hunter.
With the success of the series The Mandalorian on Disney+, these bounty hunters well known to Star Wars fans have never been so popular with the general public. The big-eared firm intends to exploit the vein 100%.
If we expect the more than likely arrival of a 4th season on the streaming platform, we also know that Din Djarin and Grogu will arrive on the big screen in a brand new film soberly called The Mandalorian & Grogu. For the moment, information regarding the feature film is rather rare, but we do know that we will find behind the camera Jon Favreauthe father of the series and the director of several live-action adaptations of Disney classics (The Jungle Book, The Lion King).
A The Mandalorian game in preparation from the dads of Apex Legends
But that’s not all. The Mandalorians should also enter the video game sphere. According to information relayed by our colleagues at Insider Gaming, a The Mandalorian game is reportedly in the works at Respawn Entertainment.
This studio, founded in particular by former members of Infinity Ward (Call of Duty), is known for its work on excellent multiplayer FPS games like Apex Legends and the saga Titanfall (a 3rd episode would also be in the pipeline). Recently, Respawn made a notable departure by launching into single-player games with the very good Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor.
Building on the success of the two titles, the studio would therefore have inherited the development of this project The Mandalorian. According to information shared by the site, the development of the title is still in its infancy. It would also be a 1st person shooteran FPS therefore, in which we would play a Mandalorian bounty hunter.
A shooter with an original story
Let us clarify that it would not be a question of Din Djarin, but of a character created for the occasion. The time also confirms this, since the story will take place during the Galactic Empiretherefore well before the events narrated in the series.
Concerning the structure of the title, the studio would not have given in to the sirens of the open world in favor of a linear adventure. On the gameplay side, players could probably use the iconic arsenal of the Mandalorians like the famous jet-pack, the wrist-mounted missile launchers or even the visor to analyze your environment. The clashes would be very nervous leaning towards Fast FPS like Doom Eternal For example. For the moment, no information on a possible release window, the final name of the game or the platforms concerned.
